Overstock.com Auctions Continues to Build Trust in its Marketplace

Overstock.com, Inc. announced it has been dismissed from a recently filed lawsuit alleging patent infringement. The suit, brought by Transauction LLC against Overstock.com and four other internet auction companies, alleged infringement based on Overstock.com's use of a third party's auction bonding services on the Overstock.com auction site (http://auctions.overstock.com/).

These bonding services provided a means for auction sellers to bond for their performance in auctions conducted on Overstock.com's site. The plaintiff dismissed the suit when Overstock.com's bonding service provider resolved concerns with the plaintiff.
